Greetings-- 



I'm curious... Is the sharing to which you refer between an iPad and a Mac, or between an iPad and a PC.  I have heard that iTunes, for example, is just not ported over to work very effectively with a Windows computer. 



Sincerely, 



Paul A. Shippert

How to share files between an iPad and a computer 
http://www.knowyourmobile.com/appleiphone/ipad/ipaduserguides/457971/how_to_share_files_between_an_ipad_and_a_computer.html 
This did not work for me even though the Ipad is detected in Computer 
and I can see the files. 
There are also third party apps that may help, and email would be a choice. 
Good luck.
